Gynecomastia Surgery - Is This Swelling or Just a Bad Lipo?
I had lipo and gynecomastia surgery 7 weeks ago and I looked great after two weeks. Since then I have ballooned back to my preop size. I saw my doctor again at the instruction of doctors on this site, he said it was edema and to be patient. Below is the picture of how I look now, does this look like someone who had liposuction gynecomastia, liposuction abdomen, and liposuction love handles? I just dont knowif he is BSing me. Thanks for any help

Gynecomastia and liposuction of abdomen and love handles: don't see much difference
If you were pleased with the immediate post-operative result it is very likely that you will achieve this result over the long term if oyu maintain your weight. Wait at least 6 months prior to assessing the results.

Gynecomastia correction results final at 4 months.
Hi.
The fact that you looked good right after surgery makes me very optimistic that this is in fact swelling.
